Yeah, a friend of mine in high school said it had the biggest surprise ending EVER. Turns out that kid was just an idiot, I did not find 1984 all that ground breaking after I was finished.

I actually didn't like it the first time I read it. I had to do a linguistic literary analysis on it in college, and then absolutely loved it. I also plan to teach it, so I think I have a little of a bias.
The one book I hated, but it had sooo many good reviews, was 'Bring Up the Bodies' by Hillary Mantel. It was boring as fuck.
